FOUNDER & PRESIDENT
INDIVIDUALIZED TRAINING FOR INDIVIDUAL GOALS
To achieve maximum results and gain an advantage over their peers,
each athlete receives individual training and nutrition strategies. After
initial performance screenings, coaches work with athletes in small
groups.
Utilizing the results of these screenings, they customize training sessions
to strengthen areas of weakness and instability while building overall
strength, speed, power, and movement ability.
WE ARE A TEAM
In the same way coaches and staff help an MLB, MiLB, or college team
succeed, EXOS has a team of specialists who are experts in their fields
and dedicated to working together to help our athletes reach their goals.
By utilizing a team approach, our coaches, physical therapists,
nutritionists, massage therapists, chiropractors, and other specialists are
in constant communication to ensure that each athlete’s individual plan is
helping them succeed.
RESULTS
HAPPEN
HERE.
SYSTEMS FOR SUCCESS
Guided by our four pillars of human performance — Mindset, Nutrition, Movement, and Recovery — EXOS utilizes
training systems that have supported World Series champions, Rookies of the Year, MVPs, and All-Stars.
These systems, which continually evolve based on the most innovative and cutting-edge training techniques, are the
foundation of our athletes’ success at the highest levels. They allow each athlete to train with confidence, knowing
that they’ll have the tools to achieve their greatest results.
“You’re not going to find a better workout than EXOS anywhere else. You’re going to train the
right way and train around other guys who have been successful. Why would you not want to
be in that environment? It will only make you better.”
– CHASE UTLEY, 2B, WORLD SERIES CHAMPION, ALL-STAR

BASEBALL OVERVIEW
Strength. Speed. Agility. Good players excel in one or some of these
areas. Great ones combine them all.
At EXOS, we know the importance of being strong and powerful,
the need to prepare for a long, grueling season, and the agility
required to make highlight reel plays. Baseball performance training
with EXOS helps athletes take their game to the next level. Whether
they’re a seasoned All-Star or a new draft pick, we help them
become stronger, faster, and more prepared than they’ve ever been.
INTEGRATED TRAINING SYSTEM
An integrated training system incorporates performance training,
nutrition, and physical therapy to meet the demands and rigors of a
long season. Combining strength, speed, endurance, and flexibility
with proper nutrition and recovery strategies is essential to helping
athletes earn more time on the field by improving their performance
and decreasing their risk for injury. Programs are designed to meet
each individual’s goals along with the specific demands of their
position.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION & EDUCATION
A key factor to the success of EXOS’ programs is the evaluation system that allows us to create a personalized and
integrated program for each athlete. Evaluations allow our team of specialists to measure each athlete’s current
physical strength, weaknesses, and muscular instability so that they may create an individual training program to
improve strength and movement capabilities while decreasing risk of injury. Education is also a key component to
providing athletes with knowledge and tools to achieve success throughout their careers.
EVALUATION & EDUCATION COMPONENTS
FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT SCREEN (FMS) - A series of seven movements that identify and track mobility and
stability deficiencies, asymmetries, and compensation strategies within the body. It reveals energy leaks and limiting
factors that could inhibit performance and lead to non-contact injuries. Using this evaluation, our specialists create
an individualized program to address these issues at their physical root.
BODY COMPOSITION ASSESSMENT - Evaluation of body fat percentage, lean mass, and total weight. This
information helps our registered dietitians create a personalized nutrition and supplement plan to help athletes
reach their body composition goals, including increasing lean mass and decreasing body fat percentage.
SUB-MAX VO2 - An evaluation of cardiovascular strength. The results of this assessment are used to create an
individualized cardiovascular program to improve the energy systems that an athlete needs to excel. The assessment
determines anaerobic threshold and peak, heart rate recovery, power output, and heart rate training zones.
MOVEMENT PREP 101 - A practical training session for every athlete to illustrate the connections between the
athlete’s Functional Movement Screen and Pillar Strength 101. This will serve as an introduction to the fundamental
movement patterns in EXOS’ methodology and the movement-based coaching philosophy each athlete used during
training.
NUTRITION 101 - An introductory session covering the essential details of optimal nutrition and hydration for sport
performance. Athletes will learn about the importance of carbohydrates, protein, fat, and hydration for proper
fueling around training and competition.

“Guys that work here are going to excel and be better than other guys
in their sport because of what they’ll learn here. You’re going to see a
lot of kids come out of here and make an impact in professional sports.”
- CURT SCHILLING, THREE-TIME WORLD SERIES CHAMPION AND ALL-STAR
“The last couple of years I might have been a little more mentally beat
down because my physical side was lacking. It wasn’t lacking when I
was working out at EXOS, and that’s something I wanted to re-establish
in my offseason training program with EXOS.”
– ANDRE ETHIER, OF, ALL-STAR
“The nutrition aspect is big, the recovery stages, the hydration.
Normally you just think of lifting and conditioning and that’s it, but
EXOS does a great job of hammering home that if you don’t do the
right things for your body away from training you’re not going to get
the results you want from your training.”
– PHIL HUGHES, P, WORLD SERIES CHAMPION AND ALL-STAR
“Why wouldn’t I come to the best physical, mental, nutrition training
center to have them lead my way in my career? Baseball athletes need
personal training, and that’s what you get here versus other places. The
passion that the coaches have here for your career and health is second
to none.”
- JONNY GOMES, OF, WORLD SERIES CHAMPION
“EXOS has been everything I heard about and more. I had injuries in
the past that kept me out of games, but after my first season at EXOS, I
didn’t have any injuries, played a full season, and felt healthy and strong
all year long. Even after I left for the season, the coaches gave me a
plan to work off of, kept in touch, and answered any questions I had
throughout the season. That’s the great thing about EXOS, even after
you leave, they are still with you throughout the season.”
- JAFF DECKER, OF
“Since I’ve been working here, I’ve been able to stay on the field, and
that’s really all I could ask for. Everyone here has your best interest at
heart, and they’re going to keep pushing you until you get the goal you
need to get to.”
– ERIC YOUNG JR., OF, 2013 NL STOLEN BASE CHAMPION
